Ratings Alone Aren't Enough: How Intelligence Transforms Third-Party Risk Management

Security ratings tell you how well your vendors maintain their defenses. They don't tell you who's actively trying to breach them.

As supply chains grow more complex and third parties become the preferred attack vector, attackers are exploiting every gap that hygiene scores alone can't keep up with. Teams relying solely on periodic assessments and point-in-time ratings are consistently caught off guard — learning about vendor compromises from headlines rather than their own tools.

Join Jerry Hodge (Product Manager, Recorded Future), Roderick Chambers (Governance & Risk Manager, Recorded Future), and Jonathan Ehret (Vice President, Ecosystem Risk Solutions, Mastercard) for a look at why third-party risk management must evolve from a compliance exercise into a continuous intelligence operation. They’ll also showcase how Recorded Future Third-Party Risk brings together RiskRecon's cyber risk ratings and Recorded Future's threat intelligence to make that shift possible.

In this session, you'll learn:

• Why hygiene ratings and threat intelligence are complementary, and why you need both
• How leading organizations are detecting vendor incidents before disclosure and cut response times from weeks to hours
• Where Third-Party Risk is headed with deeper platform integration and AI-driven workflows that will reshape how risk teams operate
